16:1  1 He foretelleth the disciples of persecution. 7 He promiseth the Comforter, and declareth his office. 21 He compareth the affliction of his, to a woman that travaileth with child. These things have I said unto you, that ye should not be offended.
16:2  They shall excommunicate you: yea the time shall come, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doeth God service.
16:3  And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
16:4  But these things have I told you, that when the hour shall come, ye might remember, that I told you them. And these things said I not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you.
16:5  But now I go my way to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
16:6  But because I have said these things unto you, your hearts are full of sorrow.
16:7  Yet I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, that Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him unto you,
16:8  And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
16:9  Of sin, because they believed not in me:
16:10  Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye shall see me no more.
16:11  Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
16:12  I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
16:13  Howbeit, when he is come which is the spirit of truth, he will lead you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, shall he speak, and he will show you the things to come.
16:14  He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
16:15  All things that the Father hath, are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and show it unto you.
16:16  A little while , and ye shall not see me: and again a little while , and ye shall see me: for I go to the Father.
16:17  Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, For I go to the Father.
16:18  They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he saith.
16:19  Now Jesus knew that they would ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves, of that I said, A little while , and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while , and ye shall see me?
16:20  Verily, verily I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice, and ye shall sorrow, but your sorrow shall be turned to joy.
16:21  A woman when she travaileth hath sorrow because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
16:22  And ye now therefore are in sorrow: but I will see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy shall no man take from you.
16:23  And in that day shall ye ask me nothing. Verily, verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my Name, he will give it you.
16:24  Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my Name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
16:25  These things have I spoken unto you in parables: but the time will come, when I shall no more speak to you in parables: but I shall show you plainly of the Father.
16:26  At that day shall ye ask in my Name, and I say not unto you, that I will pray unto the Father for you:
16:27  For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
16:28  I am come out from the Father, and came into the world: again I leave the world, and go to the Father.
16:29  His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and thou speakest no parable.
16:30  Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe, that thou art come out from God.
16:31  Jesus answered them, Do you believe now?
16:32  Behold, the hour cometh, and is already come, that ye shall be scattered every man into his own, and shall leave me alone: But I am not alone: for the Father is with me.
16:33  These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace: in the world ye shall have affliction, but be of good comfort: I have overcome the world.
